Ever notice where Trumps loyalties align? Not with America, that's just a cheap slogan.

Now that Trump has given his full presidential endorsement to domestic terrorist groups from the white supremacists, Neo Nazis and the KKK, it's important to remember that this is all part of an appalling pattern of the other questionable associations he clings to.

Trump's love affair with Putin and all things Russian is outrageous, but Trump can't bring himself to say a one critical word against America's murderous arch nemesis. Until the past week, Trump has gone out of his way to praise North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un because he acts like a "boss", not counting the human death toll, of course. He even quoted Mussolini because fascists are so "interesting".

Trump has mourned the deaths of Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi and Iraq's dictator Saddam Hussein, wishing both those butchers were still in power. Trump criticized the Chinese protestors who were killed in the Tiananmen Square Massacre while calling the Chinese communist government very "strong." After the brutal Philippine leader, Rodrigo Duterte ordered the extrajudicial murders of more than 7,000 people in his country, Trump still invited him to the White House.

There is no insane dictator, no brutal depot, not psychopathic warlord or barbaric strongman that Trump won't praise. Trump has opened the door to these rightwing, racist, domestic terrorists from the white power groups, and he has offered them succor and refuge within the halls of the White House. Trump is traitor, he is unAmerican and his abhorrent views have no place in this country.
